Heroes could easily be compared to any martial arts drama and movie (particularly those starring Jet Li and Donnie Yen, and even Shaw Brothers' production).
There is an almost old school feel about the way Heroes was produced. The archetypal upright and stoic martial arts master, the stereotypical menacing and evil villain, the almost non-stop breathless action sequences, and of course, the final showdown (in the case of the drama, there's plenty of those).
In terms of the time period, production sets, story line and overall looks (half bald with pigtails, shadowless kicks and all), these 2 productions are almost indistinguishable.
